Resource Notes?

Question

When you look up “Notes” in the PT Help, the topic is entitled Project Notes. But the other day, I realised that PT will let you make Notes on a Resource, too. Is this a bug or a feature?

If the latter, how does it work? I guess the Notes could only be for personal use, since you can’t share files connected to a resource (in fact, I don’t think there’s even the concept of a file being connected to a resource).

Answer 1

If you want to make general exegetical notes about the original text that you can then refer to every time you do a consultant check of that same book, consider creating a “Consultant Notes Project”. The feature is available in the current released version 7.5 and has been enhanced for Paratext 8.

Answer 2

The term “Project Note” it to differentiate it from footnotes and other type of notes. To Paratext, resources are also considered to be “projects”. The ability to add notes to a resource project might be considered a feature, but, either way, in Paratext 8.0, it’s likely this will no longer be possible.
